Demo Skydiving Jumps

In skydiving, Demo Jumps (short for Demonstration Jumps) are parachute jumps performed at public events or special locations outside of designated drop zones. These jumps are typically meant to entertain, promote a cause, or display skydiving skills in front of an audience.

Types of Demo Jumps

Demo jumps are classified into three categories by the United States Parachute Association (USPA) based on the landing area conditions:

  1. Category A – Landing in a pre-approved drop zone or airport where skydiving operations regularly occur.

  2. Category B – Landing in an open field or area that isn’t a normal drop zone but has been inspected and approved.

  3. Category C – Landing in highly challenging environments, such as stadiums, city streets, or small confined areas, often in front of large crowds.

Event Skydiving: Wherever You Are, Go Jump Kenya Comes to You

Off-airfield jumps can be conducted in numerous locations around the world, limited only by your creativity. The Go Jump Kenya team has experience performing jumps not only in Kenya but internationally, ensuring that your event, no matter where it is held, becomes a spectacular and unforgettable experience.

We’ve been engaged to perform jumps at private parties, including birthdays, weddings, engagements, and graduations, as well as at large-scale events such as sports competitions, football match openings, public festivals, concerts, and promotional material shoots for TV stations, musicians, and corporations. Locations can range from sports fields, private estates, hills, beaches, and more.

However, specific safety factors must always be considered:

  • The area must be suitable and safe for skydiver landings, free from obstacles such as power lines, tall buildings, trees, fences, etc.

  • If a water body deeper than 150 cm is within 50 meters of the landing area, a water rescue team with a motorized boat must be present.

No matter where your event is located, the Go Jump Kenya team is ready to bring the excitement and professionalism of demo skydiving to your chosen destination.

Who Are the "Demo Skydivers" Performing These Jumps?

At Go Jump Kenya, demo jumps are performed by highly skilled and experienced skydivers who meet strict safety and certification standards. To qualify, a jumper must hold at least a USPA D-License or an equivalent advanced certification, demonstrating extensive freefall and canopy control expertise. They must also have completed numerous precision landings and specialized training for jumping into non-standard locations, such as stadiums, beaches, or event venues. Each demo jump is carefully planned and coordinated with local authorities to ensure a safe and spectacular performance. Whether for sporting events, celebrations, or promotional activities, our expert skydivers bring excitement and professionalism to every jump.

Off-Airfield Jumps for Events - Required Documentation and Responsibility

When you hire Go Jump Kenya for off-airfield jumps, our team handles almost all required documentation. If spectators are present, we prepare and submit the Aeronautical Event Plan to the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and request event approval. For non-spectator jumps, we submit a request for off-airfield jump approval.

We coordinate and reserve the airspace with Air Traffic Control, which issues permission for an Ad hoc structure for skydiving. We notify local police about the event and maintain a daily log of skydiving activities. Additionally, the landowner’s written permission is required for the landing site, which is obtained by the client hiring the skydivers.

What Is the Cost of Hiring "Event Skydivers" and Organizing Off-Airfield Jumps?

The cost depends on various factors, including location, date, time, number of skydivers, and whether tandem skydiving is involved. Additional requirements like delivering specific items, flags, or props, filming options, and timing may also affect pricing. We are proud to support charitable and humanitarian projects.

We hope this article helps you understand off-airfield jumps and skydiver hiring. We look forward to working with you soon.
